Chemionics

Has anybody had any experience with Chemionics?  Do they make the plastisol we usually buy from third parties?  If anyone knows what role they have in the materials we all usually use that would be helpful.  Always looking for another option.

Funny you should bring this subject up, they called me this week and asked me to try a sample of their product. I've used it before but it was years ago so I dont remember too much about it but when the sample gets here I will test it in a hand pour application and give you guys the low down.

I have used it in soft and medium. I personally love it I feel its the best plastic as far as smell and smoke. Bears Bait used to carry it but no more. They had some consistency issues as far as batch to batch so he stoppped carrying it. It also was getting expensive. I hope he or someone else starts to carry it again when I run out I don't know what I want to buy?

I'm half-way through a 55 gallon batch of medium. No smell,no smoke but bubbles are a P.I.A. when dipping clear. Baits are also sticky for days after curing and hanging. Funny thing,the samples I used and received before ordering did not bubble nor feel sticky. I spoke to the salesmen and he had a factory chemist call me. i was told the stickiness goes away after a couple of days(laugh) and their plastic is only guaranteed for 3 months. While the chemists was shoveling the b.s, he said it bubbles because moisture got into the plastic. Really- ??!! tell me how that happens in sealed,un -opened  containers.

 

Now the good points aside no smell and very little smoke- The price was excellent and they even shipped 55 gallons in 5 gallon pales. The plastic is heat sensitive  after prolonged use w/ white and pearl colors.No hard packing and the separation of materials is easily mixed
